Static Front Page link to Posts

    Okay I’ve search for half the afternoon on this, and I can’t seem to find an elegant solution. So here’s me asking for help.

    I’ve created a static front page, by setting one of the Pages as a front page. So now where do I link to to get the default “all posts” index?

    The only solution so far I can think of is to totally rewrite the “front page”, and create a new Page and link to that. Not the most elegant, mind you. So if anyone can come up with a better idea I would like to hear it. I’m probably missing something?

    Thanks

    I have done something similar on my site by following this post I placed a few months ago.

    Need to get into the code but it worked a treat.

    Hope it helps

    Doesn’t help. They only told you how to remove the link. What I want is an actual link to the blog.

    I’m resolving this since it would seem that the link is simply the archives. So I’ll just link it through to the archives.

    Thanks alot 🙂

    If you mean by “So now where do I link to to get the default “all posts” index?” what I think you mean, I just got the walk-through from Rove in a similar thread. (Beware of moshu; he’s looking for excuses to shout at people!)

    For the record:
    Thing to do is create an empty page with just the title you want.
    On Options > Reading select Static, then FrontPage to your choice of page (which I guess you’ve already done), and then set PostsPage to that page you just created.
    And that does it as well as I’ve found.

    Worked for me. (Except the fact that now there are two links to FrontPage, which was my comment / question.)

    I’m contemplating a less elegant soultion too, I’m thinking of of not using a static front page but an URL redirect. owenpeery.com redirects to the page I want and that way the blog page is there with no other modifications necessary.
